Default Re: Largest cold hardy bananas

It doesn't really have an official name. I got seeds and a small plant from my friend Rob who posts on here, who got seeds from a large mat in Balboa Park in San Diego, CA. It is almost definitely a Musa sikkimensis hybrid, which means it should be at least moderately hardy. It is a big one too! I have a few pictures of it in my gallery somewhere (just realized how big my gallery was yesterday!). I'll try to get some more pics tomorrow at the greenhouse.
